Proverbs 16:10-12
New Century Version
10 The words of a king are like a message from God,
so his decisions should be fair.
11 The Lord wants honest balances and scales;
all the weights are his work.
12 Kings hate those who do wrong,
because governments only continue if they are fair.
Proverbs 16:10-12

10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle,
and his mouth does not betray justice.(A)
11 Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;
all the weights in the bag are of his making.(B)
12 Kings detest wrongdoing,
for a throne is established through righteousness.(C)
